Hi,I im interested in buying membership but I have some question. I wrote to the club to clarify things which I have found on official website but they didn't help me much - I'm surprised but their english is very poor. So maybe you can help me with understand some things.

Here is what I have found on their website:- You can become a member at any time during the season, but your formal acceptance as a member of the club is on the next 1 July or 1 January- The annual membership fee depends on age and status and varies between €30 and €60.

So my question is:If I join now my membership will be valid from 1st January and because it's annual is should be valid for whole 2016 year so also for beginning of new season. Do I undertand it correctly ? I'm affraid of paying 60 euro if my membership will be active only until end of this season.From the club I received reply that it will be valid until end of season 2016/17 but I think they made a mistake because it's a year and half from 1st january of 2016.

Nah, I think I know what the problem is: I think 2016/17 is correct, because you need to be a member for at least one year and you can only quit membership at the end of the season... Don't worry, you definitely won't have to pay for the time, you're not actually a member... I don't know what they do exactly, whether they take out 30 for half a year and then another 60 for the next season, or if they take out 60 and 30 for the remaining half (first one seems more likely and reasonable though...) - either way, they're not ripping you off, don't worry

About the English: I think they have a translator who does the homepage, but they don't have a very capable customer service... Been thinking about asking Uli for a job there for a while now

I don't know how it's handled with foreign members, but for me they usually take out the money once a year from my bank account and the membership automatically renews - except if I decide to quit (why would I? )... You can choose to make a manual transfer every year and just stop paying if you want to quit, too - but don't forget to pay in time if you want to stay a member...

You should definitely apply for the job in FCB. I have exchanged 3 mails during 7 days with them and at the endI had to ask here for full information Such big club should have decent service for foregin fans.I wonder how they lead website in japanase or arabic if they have troubles with english conversations

If it's an official fanclub (which is the case on this site) then you have the same rights as being registered with FC Bayern directly, except you don't receive the membership card from Bayern and you don't receive the Bundesliga home matchday magazine in German.

I always thought that excluded preferential treatment in ticket orders... Good to know...
